Student Spotlight

This month, we want to shout out to two of our senior just keep livin students who are shining bright in their programs! This past month, Ashley and Gurnaaz from our Eastern Hills and North Crowley H.S. programs had the chance to share their stories at our long-time partner, the Rangers Foundation donor event! Both students shared that they enjoyed having a safe space after school, creating new positive friendships, and learning many life skills. Ashley highlighted her leader, “Coach Knight,” who has supported her in many vulnerable moments and provided guidance to help her have a positive mindset when faced with adversity. Gurnaaz shared about her first fishing experience, catching her first fish, and implementing healthy recipes from JKL for her family to enjoy. Both Gurnaaz and Ashley have very different backgrounds and experiences. Still, they have one thing in common: utilizing the JKL program and incorporating the pillars of community service, nutrition, wellness, and fitness into their daily lives. To see these two students thrive and shine within our JKL programs is a true pleasure!
